Product Liability

Severson & Werson represents a broad spectrum of clients in products liability and toxic tort litigation, serving as lead counsel and as local, regional and national counsel. Our successfully defended clients include designers, manufacturers, and insurers of high-profile products, including medical devices, hospital equipment, automobiles and trucks, wheel assemblies and other automotive components, construction equipment, sports equipment, food and beverage processing equipment, industrial chemicals, asbestos containing products, loading dock equipment, cleansers, industrial glues and adhesives, and a myriad of other products.

The firm represents well-recognized and respected corporations throughout the country in all forms of products liability litigation, including defense of product class actions, in both federal and state courts. Our attorney teams often join forces to counsel clients in matters involving catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death and the collapse of structures and equipment at building sites. Additionally, Severson insurance attorneys act as Underwriters’ monitoring counsel on massive high-profile products liability cases, throughout the U.S. and beyond.

When appropriate, the firm’s attorneys seek cost-effective means of ending lawsuits through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms or pre-trial motion practice. If those options fail, experienced Severson & Werson lawyers skillfully pursue the litigation through trial before a judge or jury, and, if necessary, on appeal. The firm maintains and draws on well-developed working relationships with an extensive group of independent, trial-tested consultants and expert witnesses.

Whether defending a products liability client in a single catastrophic injury case or as national litigation coordinating counsel for a client with millions of dollars at stake in a massive property claim, Severson & Werson offers clients dedicated, experienced, superior, creative, cost-effective counsel tailored to meet their specific litigation needs.
